Freedom will forever be my favorite attire. For so long I didn’t know I could wear it. I was afraid I’d be criticized for walking in such comfort of my ABBA’s love, so I would watch how easily fear would overshadow my freedom.

The more I heal from the affects of false beliefs, I can see a deeper glimpse of this sweet goodness that comes from having confidence in the creator of confidence… GOD himself. God alone. A confidence that has absolutely nothing to do with external appearances (attire, hair, personality) or accomplishments (titles or status), experiences, egos (self-esteem), or efforts (good works) (so that I can’t boast in my self), but a confidence conceived in a love that I have never ever deserved, yet have in fullness. A love that I could never earn by my works, yet I have in it’s entirety. A love that is truly like no other and His name is Jesus. He finished the work so I wouldn’t keep trying to finish what I just simply can’t and don’t need to. I get to simply walk in light of this lavishing love without the need to strive. Freedom is free. Yet it’s costing me me: to lay down all of my own self relying efforts and just be loved with no strings attached. Just God. Just Jesus. Just the work of the Holy Spirit. That’s it🤍

HIS free love is so surreal that sometimes I have felt this strange need to strive for it, but the more I’d strive the more I’d feel further and further from this confidence in Him as I was seeking to find it in myself and ability and would come up short every single time. My aimless attempts wore me out and robbed me of so much. And Yet because God is a redeemer, HE continues to redeem and restore what was robbed. There’s no “levels” to God’s love. There’s just love, and HE is love.

Abba always finds His way to remind me to just simply rest, receive and believe in this simple truth. That’s it. Everyday I’m learning to receive HIS love more and more and more and moooore. It’s never ending and I want to always experience it in abundance as God had always intended since before the foundations of the earth.

So cheers to walking freely in freedom! Freedom looks beautiful on all of God’s children. He delights in teaching us how to walk freely just as a parent teaches their baby to walk! This freedom… No one gave it to us but God and no one can take it away.

Be Free beloved—Amy Isom 🤍
